Oops #1: Kevin Seid made a board for Sterling that was a bit too close in size to his bigger board, so it wasn't going to get surfed much.
Oops #2: I couldn't resist and picked it up cheap, still hiding it from my girlfriend...
Oops #3: Now I can't use the "don't really have a big wave board" excuse anymore, which I was milking all winter... **, now I have to
go out in the real stuff. Uh-oh. Had a smaller "big day" on it two days ago, she goes great. Lots of meat in the front,
paddles like a champ, super easy to get into waves. Nice pulled in tail, running quads and it feels perfect. Hopefully I'll get
some pics or video of it in action soon. ( 9' 9" x 27.75" x 4.2") EPS core, hand shaped and glassed at the Waialua sugar mill.

Yikes, pics are huge. Hard to get a good look at the board. Anybody know how to size the pics down a little?
Nice looking board.....narrow pintail with rails tapering off quite fine. Maybe you could have gone with smaller fins? All will be revealed quite soon I suppose
Had it out today in 6-8 ft Hawaiian, super glassy and beautiful. I ran the stretch quad fronts this time which are smaller than the Jamie Mitchel's, it was much better. A lot more sensitivity in the tail. That was about my limit too, but I actually starting feeling really confident about half way through the morning. Can't wait to give it a go a little bit bigger, baby steps for me! I also have a new gopro coming tomorrow, so stand by for really crappy videos...
